It started around 2 weeks ago. I saw Meryl Streep and Colin Firth on the Oscars, and got the bug. Then I heard a Mamma Mia! song on the "show tunes" channel on Pandora, and the bug became a Godzilla of a craving...
... So I borrowed it from my in-laws, and watched it with Matt.
Then the next day I watched again.
And the day after that I watched again, this time with the director's commentary.
To be honest I really don't know how many times I have watched the movie.
I think I have decided why I need to watch Mamma Mia! so often.
- I'm stressed and anxious
- I want spring
- The boys and I have been under the weather
All of the above creates a juggernaut of feelings inside. And I guess a really weird outcome of continued Mama Mia! watching.
I'll explain a little bit of the stress and anxiety:
Matt's ARMY Military orders are supposed to come in any day now. And it's driving a little crazy. I just want answers so that I can know what we need to do with the summer, what we need to do with Isaac and Kindergarten, and what we need to with moving us and our stuff across the country.
Things we know:
- We will be in South Carolina at the latest by September 9th for Matt's "Basic Officer Leadership Course."
- Matt has been selected to be an instructor at a school for ROTC cadets needing basic training. This is in Ft. Knox, KY.
Things we're not sure about:
- How long we will be in South Carolina.
- When Kindergarten begins, and what we need to do with enrolling Isaac in a school.
- If Matt is an instructor for a longtime during the summer--longer than 4 to 6 weeks, and more like 10--if we should just move to Kentucky with him and leave the beautiful Boise summers behind... forever...
About Spring. Will it just come already?! One day it snows, the next it's 60 degrees. Then it snows. Then it's 60 degrees. Then it's windy-crazy. Then it's 60 degrees. AH!
About sickness, just lots of runny noses and coughs. Eli and Titus woke up Sunday morning with pink eye, I had a ear ache earlier in the week, and I continue to have crazy afternoon head aches. BUT I do think we are all on the mend. And I do think life is going to be lots easier after this weekend, when Matt's weekend class is over and he's down to a 10 credit semester.
Life is good. I have a chocolate cake cooling. And the boys are happily playing together.
And some new food updates for the week!
The boys tried scrambled eggs and did not throw up.
Eli had a banana yesterday and today.
Titus loves spinach and cucumber sandwiches.
Isaac ate a lot of dried cranberries.
Eli ate a black bean, rice, and cheese burrito. (I had to call it a "Cafe Rio burrito" for him to eat it.)

I feel the same anxiety about summer plans and kimdergarten. We know we are moving in July, not sure where but have a pretty good idea, not sure how long it will take to get into base housing, hoping Lilia can start kindergarten on the July 30th start date. Oh the military life. Thats great you know where you are going!!
